Synopsis

Two new plays from Britain's most challenging dramatist

Have I None and The Children are both set in a late-21st-century apocalyptic landscape where human behaviour is monitored, living spaces are designated and where any emotional displays are immediately eradicated.

In The Children a teenager's unquestioning loyalty to his mother has fatal consequences, while in Have I None a couple's lives are irreversibly changed by the appearance of a disturbing stranger who questions their existence

Edward Bond is "a great playwright - many, particularly in continental Europe, would say the greatest living English playwright" (Independent)
